Does Warhammer World accept American Express?

[Binky]

Question is in the title. I know most GW stores don't but a few do and Mail Order does now, so wondering about WW.

Ring them and ask. Used to be none of the shops did.

Let me quote Forge World's website FAQ:

Payment can be made by:

Credit card. (We can currently accept VISA or MasterCard. Sorry, we do not accept American Express.)

That's interesting, I'll bear it in mind next time I order anything from ForgeWorld

The answer to the question, is the same though, they don't take AMEX at Warhammer World

[yabbadabba]

It used to be that the reason was that HSBC (then Midland Bank) charged far more in charges for processing AMEX than other credit cards.

My wife has her own business and doesn't accept AmEx because of the processing costs. I don't know the specifics, but they cream off a lot more than the others.

Yeah outside of the US
Amex sucks big time for most retailers.

Amex is relatively rare in Europe. So rare in fact that in the 8 years I have worked in a GW store I had only two customers ask if they could use Amex ever!

One customer was very upset (American tourist) but after I explained to him that the annual fee for AMeX was 400 euro's for retailers. And that he was the second customer ever to ask in 6 years, even he had to admit having AmEx would be silly.
